Abstract - Industrial disasters are increased in number
causing more damage to human as well as industries. This
project is proposed to detect the abnormal changes in the
industries that causes damage so that we can prevent it at the
earliest stage. Here we design a hanging robot model system
for monitoring the industries continuously. The hanging robot
travels over the rope path controlled from the base station.
The sensors like gas, temperature, LDR senses and sends the
information continuously to the base station. In case, if any
unexpected sensor values are received, the alert is sent to the
authority persons and the buzzer is produced. When the
buzzer sound is produced, the fire extinguisher placed in the
ground unit is turned on. Thus preventing the industries from
occurrence of causing more damage.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones require advanced
planning and navigation algorithm s to enable them to safely
move through and interact with the world around them. This
paper presents an extended potential field controller enables
an aerial robot, or drone, to safely track a dynamic target
location while simultaneously avoiding any obstacles in its
path [1]. High-voltage inspection robot can detect and
identify various obstacles while it is walking long the highvoltage line and plan specific bypassing strategy for different
types of obstacles. In this paper vision-based obstacle
recognition algorithms are studied based on visual sensors
specifically for the unique features of 500kv high-voltage
wire [2]. Pipeline is an efficient way to transfer oil, water and
gas but recently many plants pipeline became old so wired
robots were considered to inspect but they require heavy
power supply so adapting wireless robot is meant to be
better solution. A robot that supports image transmission
with outstanding mobility was developed. This robot can
withstand many tough condition in pipeline and safety
various requirements. In this experiment it is clear that
robot can be driven as wireless communication then collects
some images and other signals successively [3]. In industries,
measuring the parameters of machines is still a tedious
process which is carried out by human personnel. This paper
mainly focuses on the remedial measures made to reduce
human interaction with machines by using industrial
monitoring robot [4]. The development of a mobile robot for
autonomous installation and removal of aircraft warning
spheres on overhead wires of electric power transmission
lines [5]. A mobile robot based on novel line-walking
mechanism is proposed for inspecting power transmission
lines. The novel mechanism enables the centroid of the robot
to concentrate on the hip joint to minimize the drive torque
of the hip joint and keep the robot stable when only one leg
is hung on line [6]. An approach based on visual tracking
using particle filtering where the equations of motion of the
object are included in the filtering algorithm. A robotic
solution method for interaction of an industrial robot and a
free swinging object [7].

1. INTRODUCTION
Robots all have different kinds of structure designed to
achieve the assigned task more effectively and efficiently. In
our project we propose a hanging robot for monitoring the
industries continuously without human interruption. The
hanging robots can move from one place to another place
through the rope path with the help of motor rotation with
respect to forward and reverse direction. These hanging
robots are controlled by passing commands through Zig-bee
pair. The sensors like gas, temperature, LDR are used to
measure the gas level, temperature level and the light
intensity level of the environment respectively. If the gas
value and temperature value increases than the normal
value, then alert signal is automatically sent to buzzer and
the authority persons. The light dependent level is measured
using LDR sensor in case of fire. With the help of
microcontroller, the gas, temperature and fire sensor values
will be continuously observed. If the fire (light) is detected,
the RF transmitter connected to the microcontroller sends
the signal to the RF receiver in the ground unit. When the RF
receiver receives the signal, it automatically presses the
actuator to emit the spray which acts as the fire extinguisher.
This prevents the industries from the damage that may arise
due to abnormal changes in the environment. Thus the
hanging robots are designed mainly to prevent the industries
from severe damage. The reasons for the disaster are found
earlier using the hanging robots and thus prevents the
industrial damages.

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
UART
Base station
In this project, we propose hanging robot for industrial
monitoring. The hanging robots can travel from one site to
other site. The hanging robot is controlled by passing
command through Zig-bee pair. With the help of
microcontroller, the gas, temperature and fire sensor values
will be observed and the information is continuously
updated to the base station. If the sensor value for gas (CO2)
and temperature increases, then the alert signal is
automatically sent to the buzzer and authority persons. The
light dependent level is measured using LDR sensor in case
of fire. If the fire (light) is detected, the RF transmitter
automatically sends the signal to the RF receiver in the
ground unit. The receiver unit on receiving the signal presses
the actuator to emit spray which acts as fire extinguisher.
Thus the changes in the sensor values alerts the authority
persons to take necessary action and incase of fire detection,
the fire extinguisher is turned on. Thus the industrial
damage may be minimized to a larger extent with this
hanging robot.

4.1 Arduino Uno
An Arduino is actually a microcontroller based kit which is
used in communications and in controlling or operating
many devices. It features the ATmega8U2 programmed as a
USB-to-serial converter. The power for Arduino board is
obtained by connecting it to a computer through USB or
through a battery.

switching mechanism in relays. There are also other
operating principles for its working. But they differ
according to their applications. Most of the devices have the
application of relays.
4.8 Gas sensor
Gas sensor is a chemical optical sensor utilizing the acidic
nature of CO2 for detection. It consists of a gas-permeable
membrane in which a pH-sensitive luminescence dye is
immobilized together with a buffer and an inert reference
luminescent dye. The internal pH of the buffer is changed
when CO2 gas penetrates the layer. With this changes the
luminescence of the pH-sensitive dye. Together with the
inert reference dye internal referencing is made for
detection of the luminescence lifetime of the sensor.
4.3 DC Motor
DC motors were the first type widely used, since they could
be powered from existing current lighting power
distribution systems. A DC motor’s speed can be controlled
over a wide range, using either a variable supply or by
changing the strength of current in its field windings.
4.9 Temperature sensor
4.4 Buzzer
Temperature sensor is used to convert temperature value to
an electrical value. Temperature sensor contains sensing
element and with the help of conditioning circuits, the
sensor will reflect the change of environmental temperature.
In LM34 series output voltage is linearly proportional to the
Fahrenheit temperature. Thus they are more advantageous.
A buzzer or beeper is a signaling device, the word “buzzer”
comes from the rasping noise that buzzers made when they
were electromechanical devices, operated from steppeddown AC line voltage at 50 or 60 cycles. A Piezo electric
buzzer can be driven by an oscillating electronic circuit or
other audio signal source.
4.10 Fire sensor
4.5 UART
A fire sensor is used to detect the fire or light. The fire sensor
responds instantaneously to the fire detection. On detecting
fire, the alert is sent. A flame detector can often respond
faster and more accurately than a smoke or heat detector
due to the mechanism it uses to detect the flame.
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)
is used for serial communication. UART is also a common
integrated feature in most microcontrollers. The data is
transmitted as bits in sequence and at receiver end the bits
are reassembled into original data. This method is cost
effective than parallel transmission of data. Communication
can be “full duplex” (both send and receive at the same time)
or “half duplex” (devices take turns transmitting and
receiving).
4.6 Zig-Bee
ZigBee is a mesh network specification for low power
wireless local area networks(WLANs) that cover a large area.
High data throughput is obtained with the help of ZigBee.
ZigBee has low power consumption. It is powered by battery.
ZigBee operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio
specification and in unlicensed radio frequency bands,
including 2.4GHz, 900MHz and 868MHz.
Fig -4: Circuit diagram
4.7 RF TX and RX
RF transmitter and receiver are used to transmit and receive
signals over 433MHz frequency. When logic zero is sent, no
power is drawn by transmitter and carrier is fully
suppressed. When logic one is sent carrier is fully on to
about 4.5mA with a 3volts power supply. The information is
communicated between transmitter and receiver.
Transmitter and the receiver are duly interfaced to two
microcontrollers for data transfer. It covers the range of 2-3
meters.
